Glockenspiel

The Glockenspiel is a German restaurant that also happens to have attached to it a cozy little bar that looks and feels as if it was air-lifted from Bavaria. Most of the time, the bar serves as a quiet neighborhood sanctuary, but it is also a prime destination for serious beer lovers, because it’s got the best selection of German beers in the Twin Cities. Start with a Weihenstephaner Dunkel Weiss, from the oldest brewery in the world, then move on to a Bitburger, Piraaat Ale, or Celebrator. There are plenty more brews to choose from, all of them interesting international diversions.
